It all started when...

In the summer of 2015, CycleNebraska was formed on Instagram. As picture-takers, cyclists, and Instagram addicts, we wanted to create a place for other Nebraska cyclists to share their stories through photographs. As more and more photos were shared, more questions were asked - "Why didn't I know about this ride in my own backyard?" or "Where can I find more events like this?"

We quickly realized a need in the Nebraska cycling community: communication and access to information. We hope to meet this need by not only sharing events, but sharing stories and inspiration to keep us all riding.

The Nebraska cycling community is a second family for us both. From heckling at cross races to small-town tour rides, we love being involved. But, let’s be honest, its hard to become part of a community when the information is hard to find. That’s what we want to change.

Did you know Nebraska ranked dead last in 2017 for bike-friendliness? We believe a that platform to share stories, find information, and connect with other cyclists can fix this. We see it as a simple domino effect - make it easier to find what's going on and tell more people about it. Then, the more who know, the more who go and voila! we have a larger, well-connected statewide community.
